 * Hi there,
 * I get the error message 250 when trying to update the mailchimp mailing list:
 * Problem adding (‘example@gmail.com’) to list 0e794cf81f. Error Code: 250, Message:
   MERGE2 must be provided – Please enter a value, Data: Array ( [FNAME] => [LNAME]
   => )
 * I can avoid this error by un-ticking the “required” box in the mailchimp List
   field for “Name”, but this means i won’t get the subscribers name in the mailchimp
   mailing list.
 * What do i have to do to make this work? It says “Stick this tag in your content”
   next to the tick box, but i don’t know which tag i should use.
 * I’d appreciate your help very much 🙂
 * Regards,
 * Stefan

 * Hi Stefan,
 * If you require first and last names, then you should use another plugin like 
   Register Plus Redux to require users to enter first and last name. Otherwise,
   yes, AutoChimp will fail to sync with your mailing list because there’s simply
   no data for your required fields. Be sure to check the “Patch Register Plus Redux”
   checkbox in the AutoChimp settings after you activate Register Plus Redux. Give
   that a try!

 * I had this same error. Figured what was happening before I found this post, but
   might be worth adding to FAQ in short term to help others.
